Libya welcomes Togo's boy president
Faure Gnassingbe, the disputed winner of Togo's presidential elections, has received a red-carpet welcome in Tripoli and held talks with Libyan leader Qadhafi, state media and diplomats said on Monday. "The authorities gave him a lavish welcome when he arrived at Meitigha airport Sunday night. The official welcome ceremony had all the trappings of a presidential visit to Libya," a senior diplomat said. Thousands of people have fled Togo and scores have been killed in fighting which erupted after Gnassingbe, whose father ruled for four decades, was declared winner on Tuesday of a poll opponents say was fixed.
